Abstract : A novel series of 2-aryl-2-hydroxyethylamine substituted 4-oxo-4,7-dihydrothieno[2,3-b]pyridine-5-carboxamides have been identified as potent antivirals against human herpesviruses. These compounds demonstrate broad-spectrum inhibition of the herpesvirus polymerases HCMV, HSV-1, EBV, and VZV with high specificity compared to human DNA polymerases.
